Excise 'scam': Court extends Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's judicial custody till April 23

A Delhi court on Monday extended the judicial custody of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a money-laundering case linked to the alleged excise scam till April 23.

Special Judge for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED), Kaveri Baweja, extended Kejriwal's custody after he was produced before the court through video-conferencing on the expiry of his period of custody granted earlier.

The ED sought an extension of Kejriwal's custody, saying the investigation was at a crucial stage.
